Rusk, cautiously exploring new ways to ease cold war tensions in the wake of Mon day's signing of a partial nu clear test ban treaty, met twice during the day with British Foreign Secretary Lord Home and Soviet For eign Minister Andrei Gromy ko. Took Initiative Rusk was reported to have taken the initiative at today's meetings to ask Gromyko to explain the surprise attack plan in greater detail. The surprise attack defense proposal first was made by the Russians in 1958. It was Tevived by Soviet Premier Ni kita Khrushchev in a major Kremlin speech last July 19. It was one of a series of moves he called for - including a non-aggression pact between the Western NATO alliance and the Communist Warsaw Pact - to ease world tensions. Khrushchev suggested July 19 that the inspectors be sta tioned at such strategic instal lations as harbors, rail depots and airfields to keep'-.tabs on troop movements that might be connected with a sudden attack by either side. Rusk, Home and Gromyko were reported to have discuss ed such questions as the distri bution of the inspectors at to day's session. The diplomatic sources said the Soviet aide apparently placed major emphasis on ob servers in both East and West Germany. Purely Exploratory The sources emphasized, however, that the Moscow meetings were purely explora tory. If they show there is a real possibility for further East - West agreements, the sources said, they may be fol lowed by a summit meeting between President Kennedy, Khrushchev and British Prime Minister Harold Mac millan. Informed diplomatic circles here have speculated that such a meeting might take place during the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York this fall. The sources said he also re commended any possible agreement include some form of the "open skies" inspection set-up first proposed by for mer President Dwight D. Ei senhower.

Americans Told To Leave Area; Towns Captured Force Estimated To Be 300 Men Port Au Prince, Haiti-flJPH-Haiti declared its northeast frontier region a war zone to day and warned American ci vilians to leave the area while army forces undertook to wipe out what was officially des cribed as a small invasion force. Government sources esti mated the invaders at about 300 men and said they had spread out from the Fort Lib erte area where they were re ported to have struck Monday into smaller combat units for apparent guerrilla operations. Official spokesmen said they expected to crush the in vasion forces soon. They scof fed at widespread reports that the invaders numbered any where from 500 to 1,000 men. Local sources said the in vasion force hit at Fort Lib erte Monday after apaprently entering Haiti from across the Dominican border, presum ably at Dajabon, about 10 miles from Fort Liberie. In Santo Domingo, capital of the Dominican Republic which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, rebel spokesman Paul Verna claim ed the towns of Fort Liberte, Derso, Trou and Limonade had been captured and a well armed 500-man force was ad vancing on Cap Haitien on the north coast, Haiti's second largest city. Verna identified himself as a Haitian ex-diplomat and co ordinator for the exile Dem ocratic National Union (UDN), which claims credit for the invasion. He said the invaders landed at Fort Liberte early Monday morning from an is land somewhere in the Carib bean. He said another landing would take place during the night. The UDN spokesman said the rebels were led by Gen. Leon Cantave, former Haitian army chief of staff. He said they planned to take Cap Hai tien, which is 23 miles west of Fort Liberte, and would then march 85 miles south to Port au Prince in their cam paign to overthrow the auto cratic regime of President Francois Duvalier.

Nuclear Test Bon Treaty Hailed by World Leaders as Foundation for Peace London - (VIM) - The East- West nuclear test ban treaty was hailed today by world leaders and editorials as the foundation for further cold war settlements, but many warned of the threat of an isolated Communist China. Japan, which marked the 2!mt the first use of nuclear weap- ons in warfare - considered the agreement one of the out- standing events of postwar nistory. Communist China made no direct reference to the treaty signing, but the New China news agency, monitored in London, transmitted a new attack on U.S. nuclear policy by Premier Chou En-lai. In a message to the Hiro- shima anti-nuclear conference n Japan, Chou charged that U.S. maneuvers mean "the danger of nuclear war, in- sieda oi oeing reaucea, nas imicaacu.

He told the Medford wom an that the water department wanted to bill her S15 in advance to buy materials for some repairs in her neighbor hood. After he left, the woman called the water department to find out when the repairs would be made. Lee told her his department knew nothing about it and urged her to call the police.

The first will be in an ef fort to promote closer cooper ation between the court and the commission in mapping the direction recreational de velopment is to take, Laur ance V. Espey, commission chairman, emphasized. The court will be asked to meet each week, if possible, with Neil Lcdward, director of parks and recreation, or with some other commission representative. The commission also will petition the court for use of funds included in the recrea tion budget for development of a water system at Lily Glen in the Howard Prairie recreation area. Funds Are Approved Funds for the development were in the approved budget, Espey riointcd out. The com mission members gave unan imous approval to a move to seek installation of a system from a well as soon as possi ble. The area is now served by a pump taking water from a spring, which is inadequate, it was stated. There also is danger of contamination un der the present system. A request of landowners in the Emigrant lake area for grazing cattle on the unused lands was presented by Led ward and considered by the commission but no definite action was taken. Lcdwnrd said it would be desirable ill some ways to graze the land since this would be advantageous in lieu of protection against grs fires. The bureau of reclamation has left the deci sion to the local authority. he said. The commission de cided to give further study to the proposal.

Applegale Bridge wuysidc, Ledward reported, is the most used park per acre in the county recreation system. There were 87 swimmers in the river nl this wayside when he visited there Sunday, he pointed out. All areas show increased use over last year in spite of the fact that it has been a cool summer to date, the com mission members were told. Development of the boat ramp at Shady Cove was con sidered by the commission members, who made a tour of the area prior to the dinner at the Rivcrview cafe. The Shady Cove Garden club has expressed interest in landscaping the area and Mrs. H. H. Brcssler met with the commission to offer this as sistance. The boat ramp was established in 1959, and at that time there seemed to be a need for just enough land to gain access to the water.

Sodium algin, a seaweed derivative, also will be tried as a fire retardant, it was stated.
